  • (We're not working, working, oh)

    It's a feeling that I can't explain
    That I miss you more when I'm away
    And I swear I've been counting the days (oh)
    But when you're here I think I need some space
    Well shit, we've always had good conversations or we used to
    But I haven't been serious since high school
    Maybe I'm the one to blame, mm
    But in real life it's not the same, no

    And when I'm working (yeah)
    You're the only one that I want
    But we're not working (no)
    Yeah, I told you from the start
    I'm not perfect (oh)
    Yeah, that's why you like me so much
    We're not working (yeah)
    We're not working, no

    La-da, da, da-da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da

    You say all we need is time (all we need is time, yeah)
    I don't wanna dim your light
    But I can't say I'm an introvert (no, I can't)
    The timing's right, we just don't work (don't work no more)

    Oh, oh, I don't mean to be rude (mean to be rude)
    Still got a thing for you
    But I gotta tell the truth, yeah
    Oh, oh, no more leading you on
    That's wrong
    So wrong

    And when I'm working (yeah, yeah)
    You're the only one that I want
    But we're not working (no)
    I told you from the start
    I'm not perfect, no (oh)
    That's why you like me so much
    But we're not working (yeah)
    We're not working
    We're not working

    La-da, da, da-da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    We're not working, working, no (la-da, da, da-da, da)
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    We're not working, working, no (la-da, da, da-da, da)

    No
    I don't mean to be rude (don't mean to be rude)
    Still got a thing for you
    I gotta tell the truth, oh
    No more leading you on
    That's wrong
    So wrong

    And when I'm working (when I'm working, no)
    You're the only one that I want
    But we're not working (shawty, we're not working)
    I told you from the start
    I'm not perfect (no) (yeah)
    That's why you like me so much (yeah, yeah)
    But we're not working (no)
    We're not working
    We're not working

    La-da, da, da-da, da (yeah)
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    We're not working, working, no (la-da, da, da-da, da)
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    La-da, da, da-da, da (oh)
    La-da, da, da-da, da, da
    We're not working, working, no (la-da, da, da-da, da)
